  "what": "A wing bar on Roswell Road in east Cobb County, outside Atlanta, carrying thirty-five to forty sauces and marinades and thirty to fifty beers on tap. It opened as a Wild Wing Cafe and kept trading under its own name after the chain link ended.",
  "story": "The room turned thirty in June 2025, which puts its opening around 1995, under the Wild Wing Café name. The Cobb County Courier wrote it up that month: a suburban wing bar with karaoke, trivia, music bingo, poker nights, weekend bands, seasonal crawfish boils, a covered patio that takes dogs and a tiki bar.\n\nThe sauce board is the point. The Courier counted more than thirty-five, naming Garlic Parmesan, Raspberry Chipotle BBQ, classic Buffalo, a General Tso's style, Smokin' Maple Bacon and a beer-built one called Endless Summer, with cilantro, garlic and lime.\n\n*Inference —* the long-board format belongs to the 1990s casual wing bar rather than to any city's wing. Atlanta's own argument, lemon pepper wet against dry, is a two-item question; a forty-sauce board is a different proposition, and both are on the same road.",
  "today": "Open daily, at 2145 Roswell Road in Marietta, as the Cobb County Courier reported in June 2025."
